It can be an old wives tale or something someone has said.
Mine is one someone i know said. his gf was recently pregnant and he asked her why she'd stopped taking the pill because what if she got pregnant again and they had twins!!!!!

When I got pregnant the doctor expected it might be twins. Then at the next scan he said it was only one baby. A guy working with my husband said it happened to them as well. He said the doctor told him that when there's twins, the one baby is sometimes to strong and then he eats his brother/sister. That's why you see two and then just one. I guess the guy isn't that good at listening, maybe he was just very excited about the baby!

LOL This isn't exactly a pregnancy misconception, but, more of a "how babies are made" misconception.
Well, one day I had to take my youngest daughter with to pick up some Nuva Ring samples from my ob/gyn. When we got there, the nurse gave me a brown paper bag with the three samples. We left the office and immediately my daughter (3 y/o) asks what's in the bag. I try to say "It's just medicine". She then demands to know what it is for and I tell her it is a box of stuff that will stop me from having babies. She gets this really excited look and says "you have stuff to make a baby in that bag"? "Can we make one at home"?
Ah, out of the mouths of babes!

The best I have heard is that you can not do things like hang washing on the line when you are pregnant as the act of raising your hands above your head could cause the umbilical chord to become wrapped around the babies head.
Clearly a clever pregnant woman made this up to get out of doing house work!

Again, not a pregnancy misconception, more a childs misunderstanding.
My mother in law was a nursery nurse, one of the children she looked after had asked his mother how babies were made. Being a 'progressive' sort, the mother decided to not mince her words and told the child exactly how babies are made. Seemed like a good idea i'm sure until my mother in law overheard the child telling another child how a man "wees tadpoles into a ladies bum until her eggs crack"...

Doing any more than light housework is "seriously" dangerous to the health of mother and baby. My daughters mum was told she MUST get a cleaner in and leave work immediatly... she was just 2 months pregnant.
About eight months later as we were mucking out the horses together.... she looked at me, held her bump and said.... I don't think you or I are in for much sleep tonight.
Daughters Three now, and strong as an Ox !

When the man said that he took his wife's birth control pill because he knew that she would forget to take the pill every day. He took it so she would not get pregnant.

Body shape whilst pregnant - All front is a boy..............more rounded is a girl - this is a load of crap ( although we all say it )
I wasn't very big carrying my lil girl so all the oldies said I was carrying my baby in my back!!!! Wha?????
Heart burn means baby has alot of hair, I was killed with heart burn for the whole 9 months and my babe was bald as a coot when she was born!!
I rest my case...........

Depriving yourself of a craving while pregnant will give the baby a birthmark. Nonsense!
